Hi, after submitting my latest DVB patchset to Andrew Morton I received a request to include proper Signed-off-by: lines from the patch authors in the future (so far I only added my Signed-off-by: line). See http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/5/10/38 and http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/dvb-kernel/SubmittingPatches I guess that means that if you submit patches or check stuff into CVS without including the Signed-off-by: line I will have to ask you to to provide it retrospectively. Note that this is only relevant for dvb-kernel, not the other stuff like dvb-apps or the 2.4 branch of dvb-kernel. Thanks, Johannes
